What is Going on at Rutgers?

Just when it seems as though Big Time Athletics cannot yet rear its ugly head again (see: Penn State) here we have Rutgers University President Dr. Barchi refusing to ask for the resignation of his new AD, Julie Hermann. Never mind that Hermann allegedly abused her players, and that every player of her 1996 volleyball team alleges abuses and behavior that are antithetical to any academic institution. For Rutgers, it seems to be par for the course, and with each passing day of this sad saga, we see the value of a Rutgers degree tarnished by the lack of leadership, due diligence, and common sense so lacking in university presidents and chancellors.

Of course, it could be worse. They could be lead by Graham Spanier of PennState.
